Standard Test Method for Determining the Coefficient of Soil and Geosynthetic or Geosynthetic and Geosynthetic Friction by the Direct Shear Method — 7 стр.
Значение и использование

The procedure described in this test method for determination of the coefficient of soil and geosynthetic or geosynthetic and geosynthetic friction by the direct shear method is intended as a performance test to provide the user with a set of design values for the test conditions examined. The test specimens and conditions, including normal stresses, are generally selected by the user.

This test method may be used for acceptance testing of commercial shipments of geosynthetics, but caution is advised as outlined below.

The coefficient of soil and geosynthetic friction can be expressed only in terms of the soil used in testing (see Note 1and Note 2). The determined value may be a function of the applied normal stress, geosynthetic material characteristics, soil gradation, soil plasticity, density, moisture content, size of sample, drainage conditions, displacement rate, magnitude of displacement, and other parameters.

Note 1—In the case of acceptance testing requiring the use of soil, the user must furnish the soil sample, soil parameters, and direct shear test parameters.

Note 2—Testing under this standard should be performed by laboratories experienced in the direct shear testing of soils and meeting the requirements of Practice D 3740

This test method measures the total resistance to shear between a geosynthetic and a supporting material (substratum) or a geosynthetic and an overlying material (superstratum). Total sliding resistance may be a combination of sliding, rolling, interlocking of soil particles and geosynthetic surfaces, and shear strain within the geosynthetic specimen. Shearing resistance may be different on the two faces of a geosynthetic and may vary with direction of shearing relative to orientation of the geosynthetic.

The test method does not distinguish between individual mechanisms, which may be a function of the soil used, method of soil placement, normal and shear stresses applied, rate of horizontal displacement, and other factors. Every effort should be made to identify and record with a sketch, as closely as is practicable, the sheared area and failure mode of the specimen. Care should be taken, including close visual inspection of the specimen after testing, to ensure that the testing conditions are representative of those being investigated.

Information on precision between laboratories is incomplete. In cases of dispute, comparative tests to determine whether a statistical bias exists between laboratories may be advisable.

The test method produces test data that can be used in the design of geosyntheic applications, including but not limited to: the design of geosynthetic-reinforced retaining walls, embankments, and base courses; in applications in which the geosynthetic is placed on a slope; for determination of geosynthetic overlap requirements; or in other applications in which sliding may occur between soil and a geosynthetic or between two geosynthetic materials.

Область применения

1.1 This test method covers a procedure for determining the shear resistance of a geosynthetic against soil, or a geosynthetic against another geosynthetic, under a constant rate of deformation.

1.1.1 The test method is intended to indicate the performance of the selected specimen by attempting to model certain field conditions. Results obtained from this method may be limited in their applicability to the specific conditions considered in the testing.

1.2 The test method is applicable for all geosynthetics.

1.3 The test method is not suited for the development of exact stress-strain relationships for the test specimen due to the non-uniform distribution of shearing forces and displacement.

1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.5 This standard does not purport to address all the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
